Outbreaks of transboundary animal diseases (TADs), zoonotic diseases, including tick-borne diseases (TBDs), and economically significant animal diseases can cause a substantial socio-economic impact and adversely affect animal, human, and environmental health. The number of tick-borne zoonotic and non-zoonotic diseases affecting animals has significantly increased. Tick-borne diseases can be viral, bacterial (rickettsial and non-rickettsial), and protozoal. Although several attempts have been made to control these tick-borne diseases, significant challenges still remain. As these diseases occur due to multiple factors at the animal-tick-human-ecosystem interface, a one health approach is appropriate for attempting tick and tick-borne disease control. In this paper, we detail and discuss the one health concept in managing tick and tick-borne diseases in nature.
